Police confiscated a wallaby from a 22-year-old man on the Riegelmann Boardwalk Aug. 19.
They gave the man a summons for possession of a wild marsupial and turned the wallaby over to the Animal Care Centers of New York.
ACC said the animal was taken to a wildlife rehab center on Long Island.
“It is inappropriate and inhumane to force a wild animal to live as a pet in a densely populated city, and there are no approved rabies vaccinations for wallabies or other marsupials,” ACC said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
